    I guess they just don't have the imagination anymore to conceive of a story beyond TNG and Voyager timelines. I don't want more polyfill and retconning of established things.

    I binged watched DS9 recently and then decided to try Enterprise since I never watched it first run. Ugh. The mistakes and changes Enterprise makes by accident or on purpose are grating. Even small things. I saw an episode where Ferengi boarded the NX Enterprise and Archer convinced them he'd pay them in gold bars. Yet on DS9 Quark once explained gold-pressed latinum as precious liquid suspended in worthless gold. So why would the Fernegi fight over themselves for what they deem worthless.

    • Admitedly, though, the gold part wasn't exclusive to 'Enterprise'. In the DS9 episode 'Little Green Men', Quark seems quite happy to accept gold as payment.Continuity
    • I couldn't get passed Enterprises' opening music.Al_dizzle
    • haha, I decided to give Enterprise a go the other day and my partner shouted abuse at me from the kitchen when the theme music came on :)detritus
    • For some damn reason, I've been humming that piss-poor theme from time to time. My self loathing is beyond precedence.ETM
    • @Continuity... true, however, in that episode wasn't Quark eventually resigned to being stuck on 1940's Earth and becoming rich and powerful?ETM
    • So it makes more sense giving that position, gold was of great value to his situation.ETM
    • But it's been a while, so I may have that wrong.ETM
    • No, this is true. Humans hadn't heard of latinum, and the local precious metal on Earth was/is gold, so he had to work in that context.Continuity
    • That Enterprise theme is one of the worst songs I ever heard. I like the visuals though. If you watch Enterprise, just watch season 4. It will change your mind.CyBrainX
    • i was surprised by how much i liked enterprise until about halfway through, when the series got suuuuper boringscarabin
    • Halfway was the Xindi/Expanse arc. Then?ETM
